If you haven't seen this already check it out. The backing track is as original as his drumming. I'm so interested in learning this type of style (I think it's drum and bass).

You me or someone else posted on Benny many months ago. This is cool to see all the Meinl clips of him on one page, LOL. Inspriration overload.
He is sick. Reminds be a lot of Thomas Lang in facility and groove.
The style is Drum-n-Bass... that is what Johnny Rabb, JoJo Mayer, Thomas Lang and Marco Minniman are doing. Look in to DJ culture, drum-n-bass and Ambiant music.
Simply it it is breack beats and sub-divisions. Yougot to love the metronome. Notice that all these guys have great timing and independence.
